FREE Valentine's Classroom Pack Printable!

I'm so excited to announce that I've got a new FREEBIE for all of you today. It's a fun little classroom pack, perfect for those class treat bags and Valentine's parties. I've designed some "Toad-ally" Awesome froggie cupcake toppers, cupcake wraps, a sweet heart shaped tic-tac-toe game to use as a favor for friends, and a ziploc sized favor bag topper, too. So be sure to grab your set -- DOWNLOAD HERE-- and have those treat bags ready early this year! The download is set up on Scribd, so you'll have to be logged into Facebook to download the files -- while you're there, make sure you've become a FAN of Amanda's Parties TO GO by clicking "Like" HERE.

Here's what you'll need for MATERIALS:

photo paper (premium paper in a soft gloss finish)

printables files

scissors

scotch tape

hot glue gun

1" circle craft punch

2" circle craft punch

ziploc bags (quart size)

stapler

ruler

butter knife

coffee stirrers or lollipop sticks

ribbon (optional)

cupcakes

Now let's get started -- it's really easy to put these together as long as you have a 1" and a 2" circle punch. If you don't have the punches, you can purchase them from Michaels or Amazon.com. You may use white cardstock if you like for printing, but the photo paper produces much more vivid colors and professional looking results.

To make cupcake toppers, first cut the 2" party logo sheet into columns

Using the 2" circle punch, punch out all 12 Valentine's logos

Use your 1" circle punch to punch 1" circles from the tic-tac-toe game sheet. Cut out the heart-shaped game boards.

Using a hot glue gun, put a small amount of hot glue onto a coffee stirrer or lollipop stick. Cut off approximately 1" from one end of the coffee stirrer.

Hot glue the coffee stirrer to the back of the 2" logo

Finished cupcake topper

Using the favor bag topper sheet, cut along the outside line of each design with scissors. Place a ruler down the middle of the backside of the treat bag topper and score a folding line with a butter knife. Fold the topper in half and make a center crease.

Insert one game board, 5 "X" game pieces and 5 "O" game pieces inside a quart size ziploc bag and seal. Fold top of ziploc bag over one time (approximately 1" fold) and insert ziploc top inside of folded treat bag topper.

Staple topper to ziploc on each side and in the middle.

To make cupcake wraps, cut along inside edge of each printed cupcake wrap approximately 1/8". If desired, cut top edge of wrap (the longest side) with decorative scallop scissors. Wrap around a c

Hi - to answer the circle punch question, the 2" punch is from Marvy Uchida and you can purchase it at Michael's. The other one I purchased so long ago, I have no idea now, but they should have that size at any craft store. I've found that I like the punches with the levers much better than the kind with a button you push down. Best of luck!

Yeah, so ,Ummmm...this is completely GENIUS! I love EVERYTHING about it. The idea is original, the graphics are divine. I am in love! Thank you so much for sharing the idea, let alone the actual printables. So stinkin' generous! You are uber talented! :)
